Illinois woman with flying saucer tattooed on her forehead commits unhinged crime

An Illinois woman with a flying saucer tattooed on her forehead was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for murdering her girlfriend. Alexia Telles, 28, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last week in connection to the tragic death of Annissa Ellen-Williams, 25, the Kendall County State's Attorney's Office announced Monday. Telles, who has several other face tattoos, was charged in connection with the February 2023 slaying after Ellen-Williams died of a traumatic head injury at a home in Oswego - about an hour outside of Chicago. Life-saving attempts were made on Ellen-Williams, but she died at the scene, according to prosecutors. After her death, authorities discovered the couple, who appeared to be in a long-term relationship, had gotten into some sort of disagreement while Ellen-Williams was driving just before they arrived at the home. Forensic and digital evidence, along with statements made to police, soon revealed Telles 'intentionally killed' her partner and made it look like Ellen-Williams had committed suicide, investigators concluded. Investigators did not specify what sparked the argument and how the killing was carried out. 'These cases can be difficult to prosecute because only two people know exactly what occurred that fateful night,' Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis said. 'However, the investigative work done by law enforcement and the Coroner's Office led to the successful prosecution of Telles for the murder of Ms. Ellen-Williams.' Telles, who has remained in custody since her arrest, was ordered to serve her entire 30-year prison sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, prosecutors said. 'This sentence ensures that justice is served, and the victim's family does not have to endure the pain of a trial,' Weis stated. 'Telles has accepted responsibility for the heartless act she committed against someone she professed to care so much for.' Daily Mail contacted Weis and Telles' attorneys, Josh Adams and Alana De Leon, for comment. The couple appeared to be in a relationship for years, as their first ever post on Telles' Facebook was from 2016. In a post from 2019, Telles wrote: 'Love you fo [sic] ever,' alongside an image of her and Ellen-Williams. This story comes months after a 22-year-old woman was found naked and discarded in the grass after getting into a domestic dispute with her abusive boyfriend. Nahomi Citttadini, of Miami Beach, Florida was found abandoned on the side of the highway in early December. Lorent Pion, a 29-year-old convicted felon, was charged with his girlfriend's murder murder, despite initially telling officers that she had been struck by another car during an argument, CBS News reported. Disturbing video footage from August captured Pion violently beating Cittadini along a street in Miami Beach, relentlessly chasing after her before grabbing her hair and aggressively throwing her to the ground.

Four words clever woman screamed that saved her life during terrifying abduction by stranger

Terrifying footage captured the moment a woman was abducted by a stranger - only for her quick thinking actions to save her from his clutches. Surveillance video from June 29 shows Michael Tundidor, 31, trying to force the woman into a pickup truck in St. Augustine, Florida, after he robbed the store she works at, per officials. The woman, who has not been named, had reportedly tried to stop Tundidor from leaving the smoke shop with stolen items, including a jar of THC cigarettes and a vape worth about $270. Tundidor grabbed her by the neck as she stood in the doorframe to block his exit and dragged her towards his vehicle before attempting to push her inside. But the woman screamed 'Get off me. Get off me. Help!' and fought to free herself from his grip, getting away long enough to make a run for it and catch someone's attention. 'The victim in this situation did everything right – scream/yell, fight, attract attention,' the St Johns County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook. As she struggled with the would-be kidnapper, the woman's screams and alerted Kelly Eason, who was nearby and came to her rescue. 'He grabbed her again and tried to get her back in the truck, and I believe because she wouldn't quit fighting, and I was there screaming as well, that he got scared off,' Eason told News 4 Jax. Eason then called police as Tundidor abandoned the kidnapping attempt, got in the vehicle and fled the scene. 'A 911 caller advised a male subject was attempting to force a female inside a vehicle outside in the parking lot,' police said. 'Deputies learned the male suspect committed a robbery inside the business, then forcefully removed a female employee from the store, and dragged her outside where he began to push her into his vehicle. 'The victim fought her attacker and attracted the attention of a nearby citizen who came to her aid.' Police later found Tundidor driving recklessly about 10 miles from the store and arrested him. He was reportedly driving a car that was stolen from a dealership in Jacksonville. Tundidor was charged with kidnapping, robbery, driving under the influence and grand theft auto. Law enforcement experts say that people should create a distraction to alert others to deter would-be abductors. They also advise that people resist the attacker by any means possible, including kicking and screaming.
